Using Basic Authentication with Windows Vista Client

When developing Basic Authentication with Windows Vista note the following:

  • Windows Vista will fail to connect to server using insecure Basic authentication. It will not even display any login dialog. Vista requires SSL / HTTPS connection to be used with Basic. However you still can connect using Vista if you set the following registry key on a client machine: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WebClient\Parameters\BasicAuthLevel to 2. The BasicAuthLevel can be set to the following values:
    • 0 - Basic authentication disabled
    • 1 - Basic authentication enabled for SSL shares only
    • 2 or greater - Basic authentication enabled for SSL shares and for non-SSL shares
  • Web Folders on Windows Vista may attach a machine or domain name to the user name returned in Authorization header. It separates user name and domain with a single ‘\’ symbol: DOMAIN\User.
